So how would the Namilee react to large bipedal reptiles with a clear carnivorous nature circling them in a non-hostile manner and sniffing?

@Mardox

Assuming they meet on land and not in space? Probably by vanishing via their camouflaging technology and trying to evade them before reevaluating their approach with these creatures.

If the Namilee were able to get the "jump," so to speak, they'd probably appear out of nowhere and make their presence known before trying to demonstrate through gesture they have no harmful intentions. They'd probably try to react in a reciprocal manner to the aliens, assuming the aliens weren't displaying clearly hostile behavior. Again: hostile behavior would probably prompt their retreat.

What a bunch of whippersnappers.

I am the maturest of all you jerkwads.

@Hael So, communication therefore must either be standardized within empires or else individuals must learn numerous languages, aye?

I so happen to have universal translators

It makes sense for my Empire since I have to communicate with the slaves on a day-to-day basis and some of them may not have the ability to speak like a X'Cor

@Lauder

Are universal translators a thing, then?

If they are, and if the Namilee were invaded by the X'Cor, wouldn't that have exposed them to the concept? And then they might actually possess universal translators themselves.

Perfect, the Mabronnans react well to simply being approached respectfully and presented with a gift as a sign of goodwill. The gift need not be much and can even be a token gesture as it is symbolic.

@Mardox

Noted, but the Namilee won't know about that at first. They won't understand they're expected to present a gift, and they'll have to breach the communication barriers between themselves and your species.

Banned because Jinx is a crappy champion.

Anyone willing to have shared history or relations with the Glorious Akkab?

@Monarch

On the one hand, I like shared histories.

On the other, I've already got one hyperaggressive militaristic faction that wants the Namilee dead.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meanwhile, I'm slowly developing my explorer into the protagonist of her own noir detective film.

Also, @Shorticus, I think our two nations should meet up. The Coalition is at a turning point - it's grown too large to just assume "reasonable" and be done with it, and isn't sure whether it should shrink, dissolve, or change its internal structure. I feel like the Namilee would shake things up sufficiently.

@Queen Raidne

I'd be open to that! Though the question, I suppose, is how they shake things up exactly. They might notice something wrong about the system which is so complex it needs committees on committee oversight, I suppose... That sort of complexity (though not as extreme) hampered their ability to react to the X'cor.

I suppose that might be enough to make them either accidentally or purposefully facilitate some change while traveling through that part of the sector.

<Snipped quote by Shorticus>

Obviously, the X'Cor are the 1st solution.

@Lauder

In a way? They're both.

The WISE thing to do is to avoid them, and that IS Namilee standard procedure. However, the Namilee feel as if they have some duty to help the X'cor realize what it is they're doing, how ultimately self-destructive it is, etc. If they could, they'd enter negotiations with the X'cor and try to share ideas.

But I think we all know how that'd turn out.

A pre-interest Check: Battletech (it even rhymes ^.^)

I still prefer medium mechs with big autocannons. Get in close and get real messy.

By the way: @ArenaSnow are we doing text, then?

@Shorticus
So exactly how would the Namilee interact with the warlike and carnivorous Mabronnans assuming they weren't eaten alive?

@Mardox

The Namilee have two basic methods of dealing with aliens:

1. Make friendly with them. Try to establish transmissions; try to learn about them and figure out what their situation is; try to be peaceful.

2. Avoid them. Aliens can be dangerous.
